To solve a Separate Result Unknown (SRU) problem, we modeled in three different ways: Modeling, Counting, and Derived Facts.
The problem we used for these examples is:
Connie had 13 marbles. She gave 5 to Juan. How many marbles does she have left?
MODELING has two types:
The first is called DIRECT MODELING:The second is just called MODELING:
COUNTING has three types:
COUNT FROM: Beginning at 13, count backwards for a 5 count, and the number you end up with is your answer. For example, 13 then 12 - 11 - 10 - 9 - 8 (5 count) and your answer is 8. Number sentence: 13 - 5 = 8
COUNT UP TO: Beginning at 5, count up to 13, and count the numbers you counted. For example, 5 then 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12 - 13, then counting from 6 to 13, you counted 8 numbers, so your answer is 8. Number sentence: 5 + 8 = 13
COUNT DOWN TO: Beginning at 13, count down to 8, and count the numbers you counted. For example, 13, then 12 - 11 - 10 - 9 - 8, then counting from 12 to 8, you counted 5 numbers, so 5 is your answer. Number Sentence: 13 - 8 = 5
FACTS
FACTS uses standard math facts to derive the answer.

For example, 5 then 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12 - 13, then counting from 6 to 13, you counted 8 numbers, so your answer is 8.

FACTS
FACTS uses standard math facts to derive the answer.
13 - 5 = ?
5 = 3 + 2
13 - 3 -> 10, then 10 - 2 = 8
Number sentence: 13 - 5 = 8
